APE

What makes APE different from other restaurants in Dubai?

APE is a curated experience that fuses the best of Japanese cuisine restaurants and Italian fine dining in one elegant location. This helps us cater to different flavor needs of our customers.

Is the shisha lounge separate from the main dining area?

Yes. Our shisha lounge is set apart to provide a more relaxed and ambient atmosphere. Guests can enjoy premium blends without affecting the dining experience of those in the main restaurant or garden.

What are the best times to visit for a quieter dining experience?

If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, we recommend visiting early afternoons on weekdays. Weekend evenings tend to be more lively due to our brunch events and social crowd.

Does APE have options for gluten-free or allergy-sensitive guests?

Yes. While we are not a certified allergen-free kitchen, our team can recommend gluten-free and allergy-conscious dishes. Please inform us when booking or upon arrival so our chefs can prepare accordingly.

Can I request a specific table or seating area when booking?

Absolutely. Whether you prefer a table by the waterfall in the garden, a quiet corner in the restaurant, or a lounge seat, you can request it during your reservation. We do our best to accommodate all preferences based on availability.
